Volunteer Project Manager For Human Resources Team

WeVote is a nonpartisan, volunteer-powered nonprofit using technology to help voters make informed decisions and participate in democracy more easily. We are a Fast Forward nonprofit technology grantee and a fully remote organization made up of 120+ volunteers across the U.S.

We build open-source tools used by millions of voters, and we do it with a distributed team of people who care deeply about impact, collaboration, and sustainable volunteering.

We are seeking a Volunteer Project Manager for our Human Resources team to help keep projects organized, timelines visible, and communication flowing without the pressure or expectations of a paid corporate role.

This role is intentionally scoped for sustainability, making it ideal for:

• Early-to-mid career professionals
• Career switchers building PM experience
• HR professionals looking to add project management skills
• Experienced professionals volunteering a few hours per week
• Retired or semi-retired professionals who enjoy mentoring and structure

Time commitment: ~35 hours per week Expected term: 39 months (flexible and extendable)

You will support, not single-handedly own, HR projects. Responsibilities include:

• Facilitate one weekly check-in for the HR team (agenda provided)
• Help track a small number of active HR projects and priorities
• Learn our onboarding workflows and help document or improve them
• Support communication between HR and partner teams (Recruiting, Internships, Marketing)
• Gently follow up with volunteers on timelines and blockers
• Help keep task boards, notes, or simple trackers up to date
• Share brief project updates during meetings or via email

You are not expected to manage performance, enforce deadlines, or act as a people manager.

What we're looking for (must-haves):

• Able to volunteer 35 hours per week
• Comfortable organizing tasks, notes, or timelines
• Clear and kind communicator in a remote environment
• Interest in nonprofit work and strengthening American democracy
• Willingness to work with and support other volunteers
• Located in the U.S. with at least 1 hour/week overlapping with U.S. PT

Nice to have (not required):

• Exposure to project coordination, HR, or recruiting
• Familiarity with Agile, OKRs, or task-tracking tools
• Interest in mentoring or supporting newer volunteers

If you have more than 5 hours per week, there may be additional ways to contribute, but this role is intentionally scoped to avoid burnout.

What you'll gain:

• Hands-on project management experience in a national nonprofit
• Resume-worthy work you can confidently speak about
• Experience collaborating with a fully remote, mission-driven team
• Exposure to nonprofit operations, HR, and recruiting workflows
• References and networking with professionals across the U.S.
